Weight Loss Prescription Medication

Prescription Medications

We feel that obesity in an otherwise healthy individual is a chronic disease with very little immediate threat to a person's health. Traditional Medical approaches have used a "Face to Face" principle in treating patients for many years. However, Traditional Medicine (as well as life) is constantly changing sometimes more slowly than at others. And we feel that this is such a time.

Though office visits are traditionally required, it is our opinion that if a patient has had regular check ups by their primary care physician and can attest to their good health or that their other healthcare needs are under a licensed physician's care, we try to make medical treatment as convenient as possible by allowing our patients to fill out their Medical Care Registration forms from our website and use modern, more convenient forms of human communication such as email, fax, and the telephone to report their condition and progress to us. If the patient desires, office visits are available by appointment.

We prescribe our medications normally for a 30 day supply and require that the patient submit a brief "Progress Note" so we can be assured that they are doing well. As patients with large amounts of weight to lose will be under treatment for several months or longer, we require that they complete their requests for medication refills at least 7 days before they will need it to allow an adequate processing time to obtain their medication.

Meridian Precision Dose

Our current best medication for appetite and hunger suppression is a form of combination therapy using 2 prescription medications as a combination in 4 different strengths. The two medications (Phentermine and Fluoxitine) have long records of safety having been used by 10's of millions of American patients over many years of usage.

As no two patients are the same and do not respond exactly the same to medication and treatment, our usual practice is to start with the strength that gives the best results for most patients and then adjust the strength or dosage up or down as the patient feels works best for him or her. We allow our patients to make office appointments or to correspond to their questions and comments and reports to us by email, fax or phone.
